I would keep the cast mostly the same, just add to it. One person I'd cast is Victoria Rowell as either Jeffrey or Destiny's mom and give her a good story. I'd also bring back Jessica, preferably as Erin Torpey. Bring back Tom Degnan as Joey and Terri Conn as Aubrey. I'd be pretty happy with that.

A little off topic, but I'd like if they got Robin Christopher to come on as Skye for an umbrella storyline on both shows, putting them in the same universe again.


They recast Destiny with someone 100 pounds lighter, 5 inches taller, and several shades lighter, so I don't think this would be an issue.

Though the Destiny thing STILL bothers me.


Also - a little off topic, but I'd love of they got Robin Christopher to come on for an umbrella story overarching both shows, to kind of put them in the same universe again.

TP played her grandma. Perhaps Chris meant they should reveal her birth mother is alive in the form of VR?

If they are going to try and make Destiny's character happen, they should bring Greg back. They got rid of him just as those secrets came out and we never got to see much of the fallout in their relationship especially with all that's happened to her since. I'd bring him out of jail now. I would be fine with the original actor but I'd take a recast. Matthew St Patrick would work for me

i really wish they had said she got lapband or something although I guess that work with she being a struggling single mother

I thought Tom Degnan was the best Joey since Nathan Fillion. The problem there was terrible writing, but as Kelly Missal showed, with better writing he could work. I also thought he was very good on As the World Turns and had the same issue--bad writing. As for Terri Conn, I found her to be fun. I'm not saying she's the end all to nuOLTL being good, but I liked her well enough.

As for Destiny's mom, I found both parents to be poorly cast. Not in terms of their acting ability, but what could be done with them long term. I could see Rowell as nuDestiny's mother (she needs to be recast too) and then if they revisit the feud with Nora I could see the two working well off each other.

I liked Destiny's parents (grand parents). Both were great actors. I found Felicia to be more interesting of the two. She had great chemistry with SR and SE. The lived the first with her and Nora.

I wouldn't mind Destiny's biological mother coming to the show in the form of. Victoria Rowell. Greg's explanation for what happened to her never made any sense. Also wouldn't be opposed to seeing Greg back or any of her missing biological family (on her moms side) for an arc. I think it would help develop the character beyond being Jeffrey's sweet/innocent girlfriend

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
